Echo Opening

Author: GSLC

Recently I heard a story of a family on vacation. They were traveling by car on a grand touracross the country. At one point, they stopped at a scenic overlook, which stood at the edge of asteep-walled canyon. Some people at the overlook were havingfun, yelling into the canyon and listening for the many echoescoming back.“The youngest member of the family had never encountered anecho like that before, where more than one reply came back. Hekept shouting all different kinds of words to the canyon andlaughing at the response. Finally, he turned to his father andexclaimed. “Whatever I put in, comes out even more!”Scouting is like that. You will get back out of it, what you put in. Sometimes it will come backto you many times over. We are all on a wonderful adventure together in Scouting.
